Lifestyle blogger and social media expert Presnal discusses how independent retailers of youth home furnishings can gain a competitive advantage through effective social media strategy.
"Our market attracts tens of thousands of home furnishings retailers internationally every season, and more than 20% of current attendees purchase juvenile furniture - making this expansion in youth furnishings a natural extension for Las Vegas," said Bob Maricich, president and CEO of the WMC. "And despite the economic downturn, youth lines have remained strong at retail. This expanded juvenile event will bring the best of what's new in youth furnishings to the forefront."
